Georgia: Reynolds Plantation

Reynolds Plantation: A World-Class Community

Reynolds Plantation’s commitment to lifestyle through amenities means members experience a truly world-class community. Located only an hour from Atlanta, Athens and Augusta on Georgia’s second largest lake, this more than 10,000-acre golfing and lakeside community boasts five golf courses, three clubhouses, three marinas and a bevy of upscale dining, recreation and social events.

Four signature golf courses designed by master architects Bob Cupp, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio and Rees Jones welcome players of all levels with a fifth course, The Creek Club, opening in 2007. Designed by visionary architect Jim Engh, The Creek Club is defined by natural creeks and rolling topography, which the four-time national award-winner and first-ever “Architect of the Year” sculpted into a surprising, contemporary course that is challenging, playable and fun. The new clubhouse overlooks the 18th hole which features 100 feet of elevation change, a large outcropping of granite boulders and three separate greens that make the course a unique experience every time.

Also on tap for 2007 is The Reynolds Golf Academy, an innovative golf instruction center overlooking the celebrated Oconee Course. With 16 acres in a beautifully secluded location, The Reynolds Golf Academy features one of the most expansive ranges in the region. A multi-tiered short game area provides the setting for GOLF Magazine Top 100 Instructor Charlie King’s cutting-edge Red Zone Short Game School. Based on his classic instruction manual, “Golf’s Red Zone Challenge,” this three-day session helps players increase the positive impact on their game within 100 yards of the green. The Essentials of Golf™ full-swing school rounds out the three-day offerings, along with half- and one-day schools, corporate outings, individual lessons and more.

All of this is just a chip shot from the TaylorMade Performance Lab. This cutting-edge facility is one of only six in the world where players can experience the Motion Analysis Technology by TaylorMade (MATT). Using the same technology behind Hollywood blockbusters such as “Lord of the Rings” and “The Polar Express”, the MATT system provides detailed swing analysis as well as ball speed, launch angle and spin rate measurements — all of which aids the Lab’s experts in fitting custom clubs. Three-day school participants receive a special discount on the world-class TaylorMade Performance Lab experience.

A location unlike any other, Reynolds Plantation embraces a vibrant outdoor lifestyle thanks to responsible development, stewardship of the land and a dedication to family and community. Home to three marinas and a host of lakeside water sports and activities, Reynolds Plantation ensures the lakefront lifestyle is accessible to all members through the creation of The Lake Club. This member-only center features an indoor pool and whirlpool spa, an outdoor pool with waterslide and wading pool, a casual bistro, a Wellness Center, fitness rooms, ballrooms, meeting spaces, a wrap-around verandah, a swimming beach, docks and more a tennis center—all down a tree-lined path from the Heritage and Nature Center and the award-winning Lake Club Tennis Center.

With an unrivaled mix of golf and community, together with the AAA Five Diamond Award-winning Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation is a “Best of the Best” golfing community that just keeps getting better.
